A good marriage aims for muˊâsharah bil maˊrûf . Muˊâsharah bil maˊrûf can be achieved by giving what is the right and obligation of each partner, respecting each other, and being able to express expressions of love to their partners. Sexual recession is a phenomenon that eliminates almost all of the components of muˊâsharah bil maˊrûf . This is characterized by the perpetrators of sexual recession not having sex due to certain factors such as economic problems, careers and health. This study uses qualitative methods and literature studies using a normative approach. The data sources used by the researcher refer to the books Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm al-Dīn and Naḥwa Tafʿīl al-Maqāṣid . The secondary data used by the author are several books related to fiqh, mantiq, ushul fiqh, fiqh rules and balaghah. This study aims to analyze and find the law and solution of the phenomenon of sex recession efforts to maintain the family. The results of the study found that sex recession in Imam Ġazali's perspective is slightly looser because in determining the law of taklifi Imam Ġazali is guided by istidlâl which in approaching the context of the problem, if no evidence is found then it cannot be ruled either obligatory or haram, because the determination of the law of taklîfî must be based on the text . Jamâluddîn Aţiyyah in responding to this problem tends to be stricter by referring to the logic of maşlâhat and mafsâdat , according to him if he says when a problem violates the purpose of the sharia which contains mafsâdat then such a thing is haram and must be avoided. The solution that can be offered is to still be able to express love for a partner by realizing all the components of muˊâsharah bil maˊrûf.
